Post by: Setekh on December 01, 2003, 02:38:32 am
It's 19:38, and a very sweet 28° over here. Been to the beach and gone body-boarding and sunbaking recently, enjoying the view and soaking up the heat. How's the weather up there, guys? :D

well, it's autumn, I'd guess. by my standards, at least. probably because I moved 400 km south since this time last year. back home where I used to live, it's winter, I think.

fock! it's decamber, and it's just snowed once here, and that was a month ago...

I love holidays. Summer just makes it better :):yes: What do you guys do in Winter?

;)

My summer's over, back from Thanksgiving, and school in.. 3 hours. Maybe I should have slept.. naahhh!

I'd better end this post. I get delirious when I don't sleep and that would be bad. Also, it's cold and windy in Edmond, Oklahoma.

I second that. The way I see it, you can always put on another layer of clothes. There's a limit on how far you can go in the other direction. :p

Damn you Setekh, and damn your Australian summers as well. It's bloody freezing here in the UK and that won't change for about another 8 months. :mad:

As for what I'm doing...

 - Seeing Feeder and TCTC live in a couple of weeks at Wemberly
 - Another LAN event up in London (yay!)
 - Much drinking / parties over the Christmas period
 - Working...
 - And of course celibrating my parents birthdays (both of them... yikes) and Yule.

Summer's not all that fun when you have to work. And your beach house is trashed.

Still, there are many many reasons to like summer. A fifteen minutes walk in a park on a sunday around here will make you love summer forever. Well, brazilian summer, at least.

Oh, quit whining. It's finally winter, after all that heat and bugs and poison ivy! Weather that's not so ****in' hot you can't leave the house! Finally, everything's like it should always be- COLD, DARK, AND RAINY.

Could do without this damned wind, but other than that- ha!


'Course, it probably helps that I find 40*F T-shirt weather.

You say that as if putting on all those extra layers of clothes will actually make things alright. Then you don't know what it's like to be in a really cold winter. :p Of course, our winters aren't that cold either, but... meh, they both suck if you take extremes. The point is, Australian summers rock. ;)

T, get a bug zapper. I've got about 5 dotted around the house. *bzzt* :thepimp:

K... yeah, sorry. :o ;)

My plans are thus:

13th: Mates back from uni for christmas - get very very drunk.

24th: Crimbo eve - get very very drunk.

31st-1st: 2004! Wheee! Get very very drunk.

Oh, and some more drinking, and general party-type stuff in between. My crazy grandmother's coming to stay over xmas, so I'm going to be somewhere else....

And this, gentlemen, is why this time next year, I should be living in Australia. No more of the cold for me. Heck, even in Adelaide, the winter LOW is warmer than the average winter HIGH where I live now.

Well this morning I woke to a cool 70 degrees F. and the sun beaming down :D  Walked to work with a smile on my face.  The coldest it got here this weekend was 57 degrees F.  And right now it's probably like in the high 70's.

:wtf:  

That would make me want to die, humid or not.

Give me some good old snow and temperatures in the negatives, thank you very much.  Summer is all well and good, as long it stays below 25 at the maximum (and then only for a few days at a stretch), but there's nothing like some crisp air and shining snow.  Skiing, snowmobiling (whee!), skating.  You haven't lived until you know the joy of coming in from the cold to sit in front of the warm fire with hot chocolate.  Then, of course, there are the snow days (i.e. it is blizzarding too badly to allow vehicles on the road, so everyone gets a free holiday).  

Dangnabit, I wish I were out of Vancouver and back somewhere in the rest of Canada where we have real winter.

let's see, the sun comes up at 8:30 and sets at 15:00 which exactly when I am at school, the sky is grey all the time, when it's not dark, and it's been raining some ****, that certainly ain't snow for the last 3 weeks.

Fine, how are you?

Well Scotland has been under the shadow of some rather large clouds over the last few days. Snow at xmas... probably not, probably in January.

So I'll spend the next few months pursuing indoor activities with me mates: Mainly drinking, pc games, and jokes.
